Surviving Childhood Trauma

This week we will discuss childhood trauma with author, speaker, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Shari Botwin. Shari has been practicing since 1996 and is a certified trauma expert treating those with eating disorders, anxiety, depression and trauma. She's here today to talk about her work helping individuals recover from childhood trauma.

Few of us will escape our lives without some sort of trauma—some more or less severe than our peers. Whereas previous discussions around trauma were conducted only on therapists' couches or in private diaries, they are now being more normalized. With this decrease in stigma, we are paving the way for more possible healing.

Family-of-origin trauma is a form of trauma that comes from our home—from the place where we are programmed to want to feel safe. If this environment feels unsafe during our developmental years, it affects everything from our personality and how we feel about ourselves, to our future relationships, and even our relationship with food and substance use (Mandavia, 2016).
